Question 730729
.
how many real solutions are there to the equation shown below?

x^2+2x+6=0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
To answer this question, calculate the discriminant of the equation 

    d = b^2 - 4ac,    referring to the general form  ax^2 + bx + c = 0.


The discriminant is 

    d = 2^2 - 4*1*6 = 4 - 24 = -20.


The discriminant is negative - - - so, this equation has no real solutions.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The number of real solutions is 0 (zero).
</pre>

Solved.


It is how such questions should be treated.
